Overview

  • Household mini-PV systems have grown nearly three-fold since 2023 and are projected to reach one million units, driven by simplified 800 W feed-in rules.
  • Regulatory changes under Solarpaket-1 and a VAT exemption introduced in early 2025 have cut upfront costs and eased registration for plug-and-play solar setups.
  • Solarway’s latest XXL kit includes eight bifacial modules totaling 3,520 Wp and two solar batteries for €2,650, promising enhanced yields and flexible panel orientation.
  • Discounted bundle options span from a four-panel system with a 3.2 kWh Anker SOLIX 2 Pro at €1,719 to Zendure’s AIO 2400 storage unit now priced at €749.
  • Anker’s SOLIX 3 Pro rolls out a 3,600 Wp balcony array with an 800 W bidirectional inverter and modular storage expandable from 2.7 to 16.1 kWh for optimized self-consumption.
